Business Rates - Credits written on

This dataset details the combined amount of credits written. We update this dataset quarterly. When someone no longer liable for business rates leaves an account in credit, we normally refund the credit back to them. But if we don't know where they have gone, we might 'write on' the credit in order to put the balance on the account to zero. Sometimes we'll also write on credits of less than £10 where the ratepayer doesn't specifically ask for a refund, because of the cost of raising a cheque. When using this report, it is important to understand the limitations to the data.
